St. Issey, Wadebridge, Cornwall, PL27

Impressive barn conversion into a comfortable, high quality seaside house with fabulous views

Description

Traditional stone and slate barn architecture combines with floor to ceiling windows, bifold doors, lofty A frame ceilings and a glass fronted balcony to create a modern emphasis on light and space in this high-quality contemporary house.
The open plan living area is on the upper floor with rooms flowing from the central dining space. The slate floor and white décor emphasise the practical modernity of the fitted kitchen which also has the convenience of a central kitchen island and breakfast bar. A glazed door opens to the sunroom with an orangery style skylight, where the extensive rural and sea views can be appreciated from the inside or by opening the bifold doors, outside on the glass fronted balcony. Stepper Point, Hawkers Cove, Rock and Pentire Head form the spectacular setting which is always beautiful and constantly in a state of change in accordance with the tides and weather.

Steps lead down from the dining area to the sitting room, which opens onto a lower level balcony. Beautifully light, with a lofty wooden ceiling, this room has a wood burner set in a corner to give cosiness when needed.
In the upper living room a west facing floor to ceiling window opens to a Juliet balcony. The first of the five bedrooms is also on this floor, very light with dual aspect windows to the west and south, a king- size room with an attractively fitted en suite shower room.

The open tread staircase turns to the lower hall, (where the grey slate and white décor continues) and two bedrooms currently arranged as twin rooms, one with a floor to ceiling window to the west, the other to the south. The family bathroom continues the high-quality finish of the other shower rooms with slate, warm tone tiles, wood and contemporary white fittings.

The fourth bedroom is super king size with a floor to ceiling window to the west and an en suite shower room. Along the hall is a large tech cupboard with pressurised water tank and underfloor heating system. Next is the laundry room with fitted storage cupboards. Finally on this floor is the principal bedroom with a large en suite bathroom. Comfortably spacious, this bedroom opens to the lower level wrap around balcony and barbecue terrace.

The Roundhouse is surrounded by farmland which gently rolls down to the Camel Trail and the banks of the estuary.
Immediately around the house are three levels of balcony and terraces with plenty of space for al fresco dining and with built in shaded benches. Steps rise to a hammock platform on the left and to the right, an external shower and hot tub, giving an unobstructed view across an acre of paddock and the coast beyond. A gate opens into the paddock from the adjoining lane, for access with farm machinery, and there is another access gate from the yard. The entire perimeter is securely hedged and fenced. From the parking area steps access the rear entrance and a small, walled garden and oil tank.

Location

This is a very private location within a development of renovated stone barns in a once traditional farmyard. The parish of St Issey is predominantly farmland, but being bordered by the beautiful Camel Estuary it is also a much sought after holiday area with the nearby working port of Padstow offering world class cuisine, watersports, fishing and picturesque beaches.

The Camel Trail allows an enjoyable cycle route to explore all areas upriver, while the ferry operates all year round to connect Padstow with Rock, which also has a great reputation for hospitality, sailing and easy access to the spectacular coastline, with beaches and headlands connected by the South West Coast Path.

Square Footage: 2,548 sq ft
